PROFESSIONAL DEMEANOR AND DEVELOPMENT


  • Attendance and Communication

  • Minimally, follow the arrival and departure time of mentor teacher

  • Complete your 100 day internship. Days missed for illness or employment interviews do not count toward the 100 day requirement. In order to meet the requirement, your internship may extend beyond the traditional university semester.

  • Notify the mentor teacher of any absence. This should be done the night before, if possible. If not, notification should be made before 7:00 a.m. on the day of the absence. Interns should make certain that teaching plans and materials to be use that day are sent to the school for the mentor teacher to use. University supervisors should also be notified of any absence.

  • With your supervisor, agree on a means of scheduling weekly visits (e.g. email, phone). Take responsibility for communicating your schedule in a timely manner each week with your supervisor.

  • Be available before and after school for a sufficient time to conference with your mentor teacher, students, parents, or supervisor.

  • Attend faculty meetings, in-service days, parent-teacher meetings and conferences, and any other special programs at your school or county. Interns are highly encouraged to attend co-curricular activities such as athletic events, musical and dramatic performances, and academic club events.

  • Arrive on time for all scheduled meetings of your Internship Seminar.


CAREER DEVELOPMENT

  • Invite the school principal and the county’s supervisor for your subject area to observe your teaching.

  • Continue your collection of illustrative materials that can be used in your programmatic and professional portfolios.

  • Open your credential file in the Office of Career Services.

  • Prepare a resume, and request recommendations from faculty. Check your file on a regular basis so you know what materials have been added. Final evaluations from your internship are important items in your credential file.

  • Notify the Office of Career Services when you receive your first teaching contract. This will ensure accurate information on all of your records.

  • If you have not already done so, schedule yourself to take the appropriate Praxis II exams.


ETHICAL BEHAVIOR

  • Familiarize yourself with the Code of Ethics of the Education Profession, as it pertains to all practicing educators.

  • Read the Salisbury University Student handbook Code of Conduct as it pertains to all interns.

II. Materials for Mentors


The Mentor Teacher

During the next eight weeks, you will be the most important person involved in the professional preparation of an intern. His/her experiences in your classroom will play a major role in shaping his/her teaching behavior. Guiding a prospective teacher makes heavy demands on time and energy, but most mentor teachers find the effort stimulating and rewarding. This section outlines responsibilities of the mentor role, and suggestions for implementing that role effectively.




  • Orient your intern to your school and classroom:

      • Introduce the intern to the school.



    • Provide the opportunity to meet school administrators, faculty and other personnel.



    • Guide your intern through a tour of the building, to learn the locations of special areas, and technology and other resources. Provide information about emergency procedures.



    • Establish a good working relationship for the intern.

    • Explain the intern’s status in the classroom to your students, possibly introducing him/her as “another teacher.” Providing a specific desk area for your intern is welcoming and helpful.

    • Make clear to students that the intern has complete authority in the classroom.

    • Make student records and curriculum materials available.

    • Explain school policies and routines for faculty and students; provide a copy of any school handbooks.



    • Acquaint your intern with the school’s community background.



  • Communicate expectations:

  • With the intern and supervisor, early in the experience create a plan for induction into full-time teaching. While adjustments can be made as needed, it is helpful to the intern to have a sense of what is upcoming.

  • Set aside time each day to plan with the intern. Be sure to do this prior to the

  • day the plans are to be taught. Also include time to provide feedback on lessons taught, and incorporate this feedback into review of upcoming plans.


(Note: Open communication is vital to the intern’s growth as a professional. Feedback delivered in an open, honest, constructive manner is a necessary part of learning. While interns may react negatively when plans or behaviors are critiqued, your constructive comments are important to their development. The sooner feedback is given after the teaching event, the more time will be available for change, and the more learning can occur.)


  • Be involved in the classroom experiences of the intern on a regular basis:

Whether you participate in collaborative teaching or assume a more traditional role, be present in the classroom during most of the intern’s teaching. Even if you choose to fade more from the room toward the end of the experience, substantive mentor presence through-out the experience is essential to providing adequate guidance to your intern.



  • Complete Assessment Forms

  • In completing all assessment forms, please assess the intern as an intern, not an experienced teacher. Ask yourself, “Is this intern where I think s/he should be at this time?”)

  • All assessment forms are now completed on-line. The mentor stipend will be sent after all required forms have been received by the university.



  • Prepare Mid-Period Progress Report

    • The mentor teacher, intern, and university supervisor should plan a three-way conference at this time to discuss individual perceptions of the intern’s progress.

    • This is a formative report and therefore, is not used in the intern’s credential file. However, it records information about the intern’s progress and should be given to the supervisor to return to the Field Experience Office.


    • Prepare Final Evaluation Form


    • This is completed during a three-way conference with the intern, mentor, and supervisor, all of whom should have input into the completion of the form.

    • All items on the form should have been discussed during the internship period.

    • The mentor teacher has a record of activities and conference notes, is familiar with both strengths and weaknesses of the intern’s performance, and is aware of improvements that have been made. This is not the time for surprises. When there has been continuous dialogue throughout the experience, discussion of the final evaluation should not be difficult.

  • These interns require a tenured teacher with solid mentoring skills.


III. Materials for Supervisors



The University Supervisor
The university supervisor serves as a liaison between the university and the classroom where the intern is placed. While the intern is directly responsible to the mentor teacher, the university supervisor gives counsel and assistance as a member of the classroom team, to strengthen the quality of the experience. The supervisor’s specific responsibilities are related to assisting the mentor teacher in guiding an intern.
Specifically, the supervisor should:

  • become familiar with the curriculum of Salisbury University’s secondary education program, and of the classes in which the intern is placed.

  • visit the intern weekly
  • Minimally, visits include an orientation meeting in the first week, three-way conferences at the mid-point of the experience and final week, and four formal observations.

  • participate in Mid-Point Progress Report and Final Evaluation conferences (see details in Mentor Teacher section of this handbook).

  • contact the intern’s SU content supervisor, when an intern is struggling with personal or professional responsibilities, as well as the Director of Field Experiences. Together, you and these university personnel will decide on an appropriate course of action, or determine whether additional personnel should become involved in that decision.

  • assign a grade (P/F) to the intern at the conclusion of the second experience.


The first visit, during the first week, should help the supervisor

  • become familiar with the school administrator, policies, and physical plant.

  • clarify roles and responsibilities with the mentor teacher and intern (distribute and discuss syllabus).

  • become aware of any serious difficulties regarding the placement. If a change of intern assignment seems advisable, contacts the Director of Field Experiences immediately so that procedures can be initiated with school administrators.


Formal observations should be long enough to

  • review plans or other written materials.

  • observe a complete lesson and provide written feedback to the intern.

  • confer with the mentor and intern to discuss the strengths and areas in need of improvement.

  • assist the intern in appraising and attaining personal and professional competencies.

Supervisor Evaluation of Intern

The supervisor evaluation of intern allows us to determine how well our programs are preparing interns for a career in teaching. Please complete this form at the final evaluation points. Make sure that you schedule a 3-way conference for the final evaluation.


Supervisor Evaluation of Intern's Technology Lesson

The supervisor evaluation of the intern’s technology use allows SU to determine how well interns meet the Maryland Teacher Technology Standards. Please complete this form at least once for each intern.


Supervisor Evaluation of Mentor Teacher

We ask supervisors to evaluate the mentors who were assigned to your intern. This information is used to provide feedback to mentors and to insure that SU interns receive the best possible collaborative partners.


When An Intern Is Struggling
There are times when an intern needs additional support in learning how to perform some teaching responsibilities. When this occurs to a degree that causes serious concern, an intervention plan should be developed sooner, rather than later.
If either the MENTOR TEACHER or SUPERVISOR becomes concerned that the intern’s performance is jeopardizing students’ ability to learn in her/his classroom, these steps should be taken:


  1. A conference should occur between the mentor teacher and supervisor, to develop a plan of action to be taken by the intern. The plan should include clear expectations for improvement and a reasonable timeline for the intern to show that improvement. The plan should then be shared with the intern. In a PDS School, it should also be communicated to the site coordinator, who will share it with the university liaison.




  1. If the mentor and supervisor determine that the intern has not demonstrated the expected improvement within the time allotted, the supervisor should contact the Field Experience Director. He will call a meeting for the intern, supervisor, mentor, and the intern’s methods instructor, in order to decide the next steps. Options may include developing a second action plan; recommending that the intern repeat the experience in order to earn a passing grade, or in extreme cases, removing the intern from the placement immediately. In this last case, the intern will have one opportunity to repeat the experience in a different classroom, either before or after moving to the second experience classroom.

The internship is designed to be beneficial to the developing intern, the mentor, and the students in the classroom. While this is the case in the majority of experiences, when the benefits to any of these are compromised, the internship is not considered successful, and an appropriate response should occur.




IV. Professional Development Schools and Collaborative Internships



Professional Development Schools
Definition

A Professional Development School (PDS) promotes a close collaboration between the university and the K-12 schools in which teacher candidates complete field experiences. The goals of PDS agreements include enhanced professional development for in-service teachers, as well as teacher candidates, support for the achievement of students in the K-12 classroom, and strong communication ties between the school and university. Collaborative decision-making occurs through governance of a Coordinating Council, comprised of representatives of all vested members of the professional development enterprise—school and county administrators, school faculty, SU faculty, supervisors, and interns.


PDS Sites

Professional Development School sites are established through mutual agreement of the school and university. Salisbury University’s goal is to place as many interns as possible with highly qualified teachers in PDS sites. Toward this goal, three configurations of PDS sites are possible:



  • Single site – one school

  • Paired site – two schools, such as a middle and high school

  • Cluster site – multiple schools within a county, governed by one Coordinating Council


PDS Roles

Two key personnel facilitate communication between the school and university:


The SITE COORDINATOR is a faculty member at the school who has volunteered to oversee placements, field questions and concerns from mentor teachers, and develop ideas for enhancing the PDS. The site coordinator stays in contact with…
The UNIVERSITY LIAISON, a Salisbury University faculty member who plays a role corresponding to the Site Coordinator role.
MENTORS AND SUPERVISORS are encouraged to maintain close communication with the Site Coordinator about their experiences working with teacher candidates in a PDS site. Interns should also be familiar with the Site Coordinator and Liaison for their site. Contact information for established secondary PDS sites appears on the Personnel page.
Action Research
Action research is one way teachers can work toward more effective teaching and learning. The essence of action research is reflective practice: the teacher has a question about something occurring in the classroom, determines how to collect information to answer the question, and bases subsequent instruction on what was found. The question might relate to whether a current practice is producing the desired effect; it might relate to solving a problem. Whatever the question, action research is not highly formal, but it has practical applications.
Secondary interns at Salisbury University engage in action research during their 100-day internship. During the fall semester of their senior year, they develop questions, in collaboration with their mentor teacher, based on what they are experiencing in their host classroom. By the end of the semester, they focus on one of those questions that they find highly important, as well as researchable. During January, they search for published research on their chosen issue, and begin to develop their research design. During their first final internship placement, they solidify their design, collect data, and use their findings in making instructional decisions.
Support for conducting their action research projects occurs in the interns’ methods course, during Internship I, and seminar course, during Internship II. However, mentors and supervisors can be helpful to interns by taking an interest in their research project and contributing their expertise to the process of collecting and analyzing data, as well as applying findings to instruction.
Collaborative Internship Practices for Mentors & Interns

Collaborative internships provide a win-win situation for university and school partners alike. This collaborative/co-teaching approach improves the student-teacher ratio, increases instructional interactions, permits for more differentiated instruction, encourages more ambitious lessons and simultaneously serves as a more realistic orientation to teaching for interns.

The Collaborative Internship is a value-added program beginning with the assumption that the teachers of tomorrow will be collaborators who will need to plan, teach, manage, assess and support students in coordination with other educators.

The internship assumes that the nearly continuous presence and coordinated efforts of intern and mentor will produce a greater potential for student learning. In today’s high stakes testing atmosphere of the public schools it’s important that master mentor teachers remain engaged in instruction and provide continual modeling of best practices for interns. It also acknowledges that public and parental confidence in schools is crucial, and that the large numbers of SU interns in schools every semester mandate that every effort be made to ensure that instruction and student learning continue without disruption.

The collaborative internship defines two instructional roles that the intern and mentor play: lead teacher and support teacher. Initially the mentor serves as the lead teacher with principle responsibility for instruction and as the primary voice in the classroom. At this stage the intern plays the role of support teacher under the direction of the lead teacher/mentor. Support roles may include modeling instructional assignments, assisting individual students, working with small groups, and/or monitoring student work.

Gradually, the intern assumes lead teacher responsibility for more of the instructional day with the mentor moving into the support teacher role. The mentor remains actively involved in instruction throughout the internship and may use the support role to focus on instructional challenges. The mentor’s support role will occasionally cause him/her to leave the classroom thus allowing the intern the opportunity to experience the dynamics of handling a class of students.

Some practices that mentor teachers have found useful in helping interns be successful are presented on page 27. This list is not exhaustive, in rank order or importance, nor always suited to particular occasions. However, the list may serve to guide the mentor teacher who asks,

What is expected of me when I am assigned an intern?”



A Comparative Look at Internship Styles




Traditional STUDENT Teaching circa 1996

Collaborative Internships circa 2006

Assessment Climate…

MSPAP-driven instruction in grades 3,5,8; public school curriculum independence

NCLB-driven high stakes testing in all grades; “voluntary” state curriculum

SU Field experiences…

Two 7-week placements in contrasting sites

100-day Extended Internships, including 16 wks of full-time teaching

Field Supervision…

Mostly part-time adjunct supervisors

More full-time faculty actively involved in field

Where interns are placed…

Virtually any school in the 3-state region, including many on the western shore

All internships occur in established PDS sites

SU message to host mentors…

Disengage yourself from planning/instruction and let student teacher take over

Remain involved in planning/instruction while you and intern co-teach

Implicit goal of internships…

Prove that student teacher can function autonomously

Build self-efficacy in teacher-candidates, preparation for tomorrow’s classroom

Collaborative Classroom Strategies

  • Grazing – strategic placement throughout the classroom during lead teacher instruction, assisting students & maintaining order.

  • Graze + Tag – “lead teacher” role shifts between 2 parties during instruction, with the other grazing.

  • Modeling – the second teacher assumes role of a student and models appropriate behavior, asks questions, and facilitates instruction while “lead teacher” conducts the class.

  • Parallel Teaching – Both teachers conduct similar lessons simultaneously with smaller groups.

  • Think-alouds – both teachers contribute alternative solutions and approaches during instruction.

  • Role play – both teachers prepare in advance to assume roles that will enrich instruction, such as historical characterizations, debates, and problem-solving scenarios.

  • 1 on 1– While “lead teacher” conducts instruction, the second teacher supports individual learning through assessments, tutoring, conferencing, make-up work or enrichment.

  • Pullouts – the second teacher may use an adjacent room, lab or media center for small group instruction.

  • Technology Applications – ambitious technology usage (and trouble-shooting) can be facilitated through collaborative efforts.

  • Compacting – encourages teachers to assess and accelerate instruction for those students needing challenges.

  • Co-op learning – Many cooperative learning structures become more manageable with two active teachers involved in planning, preparation and monitoring.

  • Tiered instruction – Used in conjunction with other strategies, two teachers can meet the needs of different levels appropriately.

  • Project Based Instruction – From science fairs to community service, ambitious projects can be tackled more readily with two fully involved teachers.
